When Green Goes Grey

by reJoyce   Mar 3, 2008


Hoarding the summer air
I pace my run down the forest path
Freedom without a care
Releases internal wrath

But something is present
Fumes familiar unnatural smell
And in pours the cement
Along with men and their chained-blades to kill

The motor roars as they cut down the trees
Down goes the home of that helpless bird
But wait this is all just a false sense of unease
As I sign in relief at the sound that I misheard

And I hope to never see the day
When green goes grey

    I loved this part:

    "Hoarding the summer air
    I pace my run down the forest path
    Freedom without a care
    Releases internal wrath"

    Nicely written, I don't want to see that day either. Take care!
